Verdict

Rotten drops you into a fogged-over, abandoned carnival crawling with the undead, complete with a crooked 'Love Ride' sign and a mad scientist watching from the wings — Hacksaw Gaming's grubby house style is unmistakable before a single symbol lands.

The five-by-five grid stays busy, and a green-clawed wild hand does the substituting work across it. Play it if grubby horror-carnival art is exactly the kind of theme you go looking for. Skip it if zombies and gore aren't your idea of a fun ten minutes.

How it plays

Rotten plays out on a five-by-five grid, set against a fog-covered, abandoned amusement park with a stalled Ferris wheel and a crooked 'Love Ride' sign, all rendered in gritty horror art. Zombie portraits and a mad scientist anchor the top of the paytable, backed by a run of card royals from ten through ace. A green-clawed wild hand turns up among the symbols and substitutes for others wherever it lands. Bets run from 0.10 to 100.00 per spin.
